The Jewish community of Latvia is actively helping refugees from Ukraine. Elderly members of Jewish families who arrived in Riga have been registered and received assistance at the Hesed Social Center. Children became students at the Dubnov Jewish School and may attend the Motek Community Kindergarten.
At the request of the Jewish community of Moldova, which receives 1,500 Jewish refugees from Ukraine a day, the Latvian community has provided financial assistance.
